Midnight train
(Billy Bob Thornton/Randy Mitchell)
Love came knocking one day at my window I turned my head and looked the other way A whisper in my head told me I should know Love is an imaginary day I fell into her arms down at the station She said that whistle's moan I should ignore My soul tells me to travel across the nation But I can't drive that midnight train no more Oh, I can't drive that midnight train no more Her hypnotic power has closed that lonely door I was following those crazy tracks but I'm not sure what for And I can't drive that midnight train no more She holds me close when fear drifts in the window It tells me to let go but hold on strong But being free was always my desire But I learned freedom is here in this home Today a boy came tugging on my pant leg He said, "Dad, come on, let's go outside and play As I was wrestling him, the wind was whispering The road is an imaginary way Oh, I can't drive that midnight train no more Her hypnotic power has closed that lonely door I was following those crazy tracks but I'm not sure what for And I can't drive that midnight train no more Now I can't drive that midnight train no more I can't drive that midnight train no more
